if you like, create a new mod

I didnt mean any offense or critizing what you are doing. I was just mentioning an article I remember seeing on GR.org

Oh, I didn't mean that. Creating a mod is the only way to read the original files, because if I tell you to open EF mod you may argue that we have modified some parts of them and might not be "vanilla" anymore. And that's correct, read EF files to check a if vanilla feature was changed in 2.602 is not an objective approach ;).

Some stuff for the next patch:



Greetings comrades!

We are proud to announce than Eastern Front will have now alternate trees to depict reward units! What does this mean and why you should be happy?

In the past versions, the reward units that replaced units from Command Trees did not appear in the respective tree as upgrade, but it used to be the regular one... in example, if replacing Hetzer with Jagdpanzer IV, at the Command Tree you always saw the Hetzer, although when purchasing the upgrade you would get a Jagdpanzer IV call-in.

Now that is part of the past for us, and for everyone else will be soon, as soon as we finish and release the next update for Eastern Front.

Thanks to jojorabit, our new AI coder, for helping us to achieve this. I'll post later more screenshots of how the other trees looks like.




After too many discussions and tests, it seems than Urban Combat will be arranged like shown in this screenshot. Almost everything is still the same, nonetheless I'll briefly describe all the upgrades so there is no confusion about them.

Left Side:
* Street Fighting: Ingeneries can get up to two flamethrowers, Conscripts get the mosin upgrade. Sturmovie Ingeneries no longer benefit from double flamers.
* For the motherland!: Enables the timed ability "For the motherland!" and also grants Strelky the incendiary grenades.
* KV2/SU122: Enable the off-map reinforcement ability for these units.

Right Side:
* Partisans: Recruit a Partisan squad from a neutral building.
* Flares: Reveal an area for limited time and punish the enemies inside it(it doesn't reveal camo'ed units).
* Sniper Ace: Calls a heroe of the Soviet Union, the Sniper Ace.

Good work.

The conversion of urban combat strategy looks very interesting.

Breakthrough and Armour aren't finished yet.
If you get into an argument with me, you're wrong.
